Your Daily Dose of Storytelling for Aug 15, 2024

**Ever wonder why some stories leave you spellbound while others just don’t hit the mark?**

What if there was a surefire way to make your stories unforgettable?

**Here’s a tip**: *Use emotional triggers.* Our brains are wired to respond to emotions, and stories that evoke feelings are more likely to stick. Neuroscience shows that when we feel an emotion, our brains release chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, which help with memory and connection.

**Try this storytelling hack**: Next time you share a story, focus on evoking a strong emotion–whether it’s joy, surprise, sadness, or excitement. Instead of saying, “Our product improved customer satisfaction,” try, “One of our customers was brought to tears of joy when our product helped them save hours of work each week.” This emotional angle hooks your audience and makes your story more relatable and memorable.

**Your action step**: Think about an upcoming presentation or conversation. Identify an emotional moment in your story and amplify it. Observe how this emotional connection transforms your audience’s engagement.
